Although the original GoldenEye earned its spurs in many players' eyes for its splendid split-screen multiplayer credentials, it's easy to forget that there was also an excellent single-player game powering the N64 classic.
This week sees the release of GoldenEye 007 Reloaded, Eurocom's HD update to last year's well received Wii shooter and spiritual successor to the venerable N64 version.
So with the game set to debut this Friday, Nov 4th, we tracked down GoldenEye 007 Reloaded writer Rob Matthews, to get the story behind the single-player component of the game.
You released GoldenEye 007 on Wii last year, were you pleased with its reception?
Absolutely, feedback from the press and fans was overwhelmingly positive and our aggregated review scores rate us as one of the best FPS's on the Wii platform.
The original GoldenEye was such an iconic game, it must have cast quite a long shadow - how was it dealing with not only high expectations but those probably slightly rose-tinted memories?
We took a slightly different approach when developing GoldenEye 007, rather than trying to solely recreate the original game, we approached the project as if we were re-imagining the GoldenEye story for the modern day; that meant a new cast and locations alongside some mild updates to the story to make it feel more current to today's world. That said, the original game has generated such a fantastic legacy and we've paid subtle homage to it in a number of places throughout the game.
What has the move to a HD version bought to the GoldenEye game? What did you learn from the Wii version that's fed into the HD game?
The online and split-screen multiplayer features of GoldenEye 007 were really well received when the Wii title launched last year so we've tried give players more of what they love for GoldenEye 007: Reloaded - we have more maps, new weapons, gadgets, game modes and of course a number of new classic characters that Bond fans love to play as. That said, we also added in some new features and content for players who enjoy the single player experience - the MI6 Ops game mode.
How was working with Daniel Craig and Dame Judy Dench?
In a nutshell, fantastic, they are both very talented and professional actors who are always willing to go the extra mile to get a perfect performance, I've been a big fan of both actors for quite a while so for me personally it was a wonderful opportunity to write for and work with them. I'd also like to mention that we had a great supporting cast too, with Rory Kinnear, Elliot Cowan, Alec Newman and Kirsty Mitchell to name but a few.

PUNE: The Gender and Technology Communication division, established by the Vigyan Prasar a year ago, is planning to bring out print and audio-visual training manuals on science and technology-related broadcasting for people at the grassroots level.
"With due contributions from scientists and experts, we are trying to produce good resource material in which we will incorporate all kinds of technologies. Interactive programmes on the field will be produced to create direct contact with farmers, artisans, villagers and rural youth," said Nimish Kapoor from Vigyan Prasar, who also manages this division, while attending the inaugural session at the workshop on science broadcasting at the Film and Television Institute of India ( FTII) on Monday.
"The manuals, which are still under the planning stage, will be valuable resource material that will include information on all kinds of technologies, their know-how, as well as their cultural, historical and geographical references. Such manuals will be useful for villagers, rural women, youth and artisans. Technology is being created by laboratories. However, there is a big gap between laboratories and end-users. This gap can be filled with proper skill development and capacity-building, particularly through such resource material," Kapoor added. tnn This will be followed by interactive programmes on the field with the villagers. "Here, we will check what areas of training are required for them. For the last 18 months, villagers and artisans are our new target groups for our division, the idea being to sensitise men and women on how they can use technology in a better way," Kapoor said.
Vigyan Prasar also conducted a brainstorming workshop on technology communication with IIT, Delhi in late September. "We want to create technology communication manuals with the help of IITs, laboratories and other universities and institutions, whom we are approaching for valuable inputs. Such training material will be ready within the next eight to ten months. We want to use to media for this purpose, included traditional media, the internet, puppetry, and digital, print and electronic media," Kapoor said.
"The experts are most welcome to share their innovative ideas and we are open to devise some collborative programmes with them," he added.

I was going to point out the 11 hour time difference and the fact it was one night (at a high price), but thought I would leave well enough alone.

We used a marina in Darwin and the said they wanted $5 million but I could arrange a local supplement. When we got there they only wanted a copy of our insurance and did not mention the liability amount.
It seems like Australia tries their best to discourage sailboats, from their clearing in policies to insurance. I think when I finally set off to do the big loop, I will avoid it entirely. Australia has apparently gone from remote penal colony to the land of regulation and official nonsense.

The repair of the Lake Beseck dam is projected to finish by Labor Day, but the return of the water that will make Lake Beseck itself look like a lake again depends on rainfall.
According to Ted Rybak, project manager for the Connecticut Department of Energy & Environmental Protection, the water level went down between 13 and 15 feet for the project.
The valve on a 48-inch drain pipe was opened in October 2013, lowering the water level. The draw down permitted the repair of weaknesses in the dam at the lake's southern end.
At the time, the repair was scheduled to take 300 calendar days. If the repair is finished in August, as anticipated, it will mean the project went slightly over schedule.
"I was hoping to be done by the Fourth of July, but we had other problems," said Rybak in an interview with Town Times. The foundation of the dam was revealed to have other weaknesses, resulting in more rock removal than anticipated and more concrete to replace the rock.
"You never know until you start digging in," Rybak said. When it is finished, Lake Beseck will have a new concrete wall on the upstream face that will "be good for a long time."
Once the dam is fully repaired, rainfall will be necessary to recreate Lake Beseck, which is a man-made lake.
"As we move out of the rainy season it's going to be harder," said Amy Poturnicki, chair of the Lake Beseck Ad-hoc Committee.
The swimming season for the summer is completely lost and no beach passes were sold. "A lot of people were asking about the fish," Poturnicki said. "In the main part of the water, the oxygen level is still 100 percent."
Middlefield selectman Ed Bailey stated the same at the July 7 Board of Selectmen meeting. Citing the studies of limnologist Mark June-Wells, Bailey said, "The fish are not as impacted as we thought they would be" with lower oxygen levels in some parts of the lake reported in May.
The water level could go up by as much as two feet in July, but only if the rain delivers enough water for the lake and the downstream system. "I've been trying to fill it for weeks," said Rybak, but "you have to let water through for the health of the stream."
According to Rybak, Lake Beseck's watershed area is approximately a square mile "which isn't huge."
The dam project itself is being funded by the state of Connecticut, which owns the lake, but Middlefield took advantage of the draw down for several projects, including dredging in the spring of 2014.
"It's not our lake, but we're spending a lot of money on it," Bailey said.
"We're cleaning their lake. We're basically doing their work. Middlefield has been exemplary in doing this," said Middlefield First Selectman Jon Brayshaw in a March interview.
Middlefield Volunteer Fire Company Chief Peter Tyc also is trying to install a hydrant south of the boat launch. The hydrant will allow the fire department an easier way to fill its pumper truck. Currently the truck is driven partially into the lake and a special hose collects lake water along with lake debris.
The town also is planning to install a new shelf along Lake Road for a guard rail and landscaping. How quickly that shelf will meet the lake will depend on the rain.

Getting Hired As an Entry-Level Programmer?
Re:Three ways (540 comments)
jwhitener is absolutely on the ball on this. I actually had all three points he mentioned above to get my software development job. Before that, I did support for about 1.5 years which involved little to no actual programming, unless you were trying to reproduce some specific kind of problem.

Okay, SC. has no reciprocity with other states', regardless of holding another state CCW, resident or not. It seems that the South is more liberal but SC. seems to stand alone with a few others' and issue resident permits only. As I will be in SC for a week in November, what I have gleaned is that it is okay to only carry a loaded handgun in car if one has no resident permit. But, I have not seen any language if it is legal to carry open as a non-resident in SC like in some states.
Any help is appreciated and let us hope things will change. I find it hard to imagine SC not honoring the Utah Permit for non-resident's or especially the non-resident Florida which carries a good deal of weight.
Thank you in advance.

6 NOVEMBER 2013 UPDATE: On 14 July 2013, Wajeha Al-Huwaider and Fawzia Al-Oyouni filed their appeal with the appeals court. If the appeals court upholds the District Court's decision then the activists will be imprisoned while they prepare their final appeal. The appeals court has still not issued an official decision and Wajeha is still being pressured by the government not to participate in human rights advocacy such as the right to drive campaign on 26 October. Please continue to call on the Saudi authorities listed below to overturn the activists' prison sentences and travel ban.
Equality Now has just issued Action Update 31.6 Saudi Arabia: Protect don't prosecute women's rights activists. On 15 June 2013, two women's rights activists, Wajeha Al-Huwaider and Fawzia Al-Oyouni, were convicted of the Islamic Sharia law offence of Takhbib, or incitement of a wife to defy the authority of her husband. They were charged because of their support of a Canadian woman and her children, who had allegedly been abused by the woman's Saudi husband. While absolved of the charge of trying to help the woman and her children escape, Wajeha Al-Huwaider and Fawzia Al-Oyouni were convicted of "supporting a wife without her husband's knowledge, thereby undermining the marriage." The District Court in Al-Khobar in Saudi Arabia sentenced them to 10 months in prison and banned them from leaving the country for two years following completion of their prison terms. Saudi activists have questioned whether the travel ban and the unwarranted prison terms are related to their long-term human rights work, which includes attempting to overturn the ban on women drivers, rather than to the alleged offense. Wajeha Al-Huwaider and Fawzia Al-Oyouni are appealing their sentences. They have 30 days from sentencing in which to do so.
Please join us in urgently calling on Saudi authorities to overturning the activists' prison sentences and travel ban. Also, ask the Saudi authorities to:

External Design creates and manages…
• web design and development
• brand imagery and "voice"
• editing and content
…for business, organizations and individuals.
"…good design is magical and not to be lightly tinkered with. The difference between a great design and a lousy one is in the meshing of the thousand details that either fit or don't, and the spirit of the passionate intellect that has tied them together, or tried. That's why programming — or buying software — on the basis of "lists of features" is a doomed and misguided effort. The features can be thrown together, as in a garbage can, or carefully laid together and interwoven in elegant unification, as in APL, or the Forth language, or the game of chess."
A guideline, for most businesses:
Good design is about
communication, not ornamentation.
The important question is not "Do I like it?" or even "Is it pretty?"
It is more useful to ask, "What does it say about us?" and "Does it represent the brand, serve its
purpose and speak to the audience?"

The 18-hole Reidy Creek Golf Course covers 2,582 yards in the rugged hills of Escondido, supplying guests with a scenic backdrop for club-based revelry. The rolling terrain of the par 54 course—intertwined with manmade obstacles such as sculpted bunkers, sinuous lakes, and wind—challenges golfers as they attempt holes-in-one. The distinctive course, designed by the notable engineers at Cal Olson Golf Architecture not to contain any two identical holes, contains a golf shop, café, and golf clinics taught by PGA professionals. ______________ Operating out of five courses throughout the greater San Diego area, JC Golf's Intro2Golf program fosters pin-hunting prowess with a shrewd blend of hands-on instruction, individual practice, and on-course experience designed to introduce the basics of golf to beginners. During the pressure-free sessions, JC Golf equips pupils with all the necessary equipment, saving neophytes the hassle of rustling up their own sets of clubs or graphite shaft bananas. Three additional buckets of range balls grant golfers the spherical tools necessary to implant newly learned concepts into muscle memory. The package also allows clubbers to loop the links at their chosen course twice after 4 p.m. for an additional $10 per round, allowing them to test their mettle amid the brambly hazards and sand-trap curmudgeons found on every real course.
San Diego Botanic Garden envelops visitors in 37 acres of lush gardens and diverse terrain, offering nature-centric events and docent-led tours through the urban oasis. Explore the seemingly endless expanse of 28 themed gardens and venture into the world of verdure with the Australian Garden, rich in low-water plants and Vegemite, or the Mediterranean Garden, filled with fragrant water-smart plants such as lavender, rosemary, and Tang. Attend an insightful event, such as the Asian Arts in the Garden experience, or satisfy pressing cocoa queries at the Chocolate Festival. Peruse the premises with a gaggle of garden groupies, take a self-guided tour, or attend the free docent-led garden tour at 10:30 a.m. on Saturdays.
After spending nearly a decade as a surf instructor in Maui, Hawaii, Matt Allen returned to San Diego to open Maui Surf Academy, a safety-first surf school with lessons for all experience levels. In a group lesson, students and curious sand crabs gather around teachers at a three- or four-to-one ratio, assimilating to basic technique with a 20-30 minute segment on the sand that includes a water safety lesson. The group then spends the remainder of the two-hour lesson in the water, practicing paddling techniques before working up the nerve to conquer an actual wave. The CPR- and First Aid–certified instructors also stress the importance of ocean etiquette, such as taking turns in the surf with nearby boarders and allowing ticklish waves to float by unsurfed. Private lessons follow a similar schedule but with one-on-one coaching, useful for younger students, accelerated learning, or specialized instruction of advanced skills. The stretch of beach used at MSA is beginner friendly, stabilized by sandbars and crabs that quiz surfers with waterproof flash cards.
JW Tumbles helps kids develop confidence, motor skills, and social tools in a fun, nurturing environment. Classes are offered for children from 4 months to 7 years old, and involve songs, gymnastics, exploration, and sports. Art classes are also offered, granting petite Magrittes the opportunity to play with paints, doughs, and crayons, crafting conventional masterpieces or shocking rejections of aesthetic orthodoxy. Open play space offers unstructured play time, giving kids the opportunity for general frolic in the space. Groupon buyers also get a $50 discount on a JW Tumbles birthday party, with two party professionals concocting an action-packed celebration of games, singing, sports, dancing, and all-around revelry.
When the early afternoon tide is low, participants in the Surfing Madonna "Save the Ocean" 5K/10K line up waterside on Moonlight Beach. The scenic run takes athletes of all stripes along the shore to their respective 5k and 10k turnaround points, at which point they must loop back to the finish. Each runner has three hours to complete his or her route, which features aid stations stocked with food and drink along the way. The top 20 male and female finishers divvy up $8,000 worth of prize money, while the top ladies and gents in each age division receive handmade mosaic medals by artist Mark Patterson.
Those awards are distributed during the run's all-day after party, where vendors supply free snacks and drinks as live music resounds across the shore. In addition to awards for the race, the after-party includes a presentation of $20,000 in scholarships to local students. Likewise, Surfing Madonna—a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the world's oceans—donates an additional $20,000 to local beach- and ocean-related projects, which are voted for by race participants.

The night the Titanic went down: who survived and how
(Read article summary)In "How to Survive the Titanic, or The Sinking of J. Bruce Ismay," writer Frances Wilson reviews tales of heroism and accusations of cowardice.
The captain is supposed to go down with the ship, and that's exactly what happened after the Titanic hit an iceberg on an April night in 1912. But what is the president of the company that built the ship supposed to do?
Good question. Judging by the reaction of the American public, J. Bruce Ismay picked absolutely the wrong answer. He found his way to a lifeboat as the great boat floundered – there's still debate over exactly how he did so – and landed himself in infamy by managing to avoid death in the frigid North Atlantic.
In her new book How to Survive the Titanic, or The Sinking of J. Bruce Ismay, writer Frances Wilson chronicles the life of a man who, perhaps unfairly, became an immortal emblem of oblivious arrogance. It's a fascinating read, full of gripping detail about the sinking and the evolving morals of the age.

Researchers Hack a Potential US "E-Voting" System in Less Than 48 Hours
As technology continues to become more prevalent in our lives, the idea of an "e-voting" system for a national election would not seem out of the realm of possibility. Many have voiced concerns about the security and potential corruption that would come with electronic methods of voting. Those fears were recently confirmed when researchers from the University of Michigan successfully hacked through security functions of an online voting project in Washington D.C. within 48 hours.

TUCSON - The White House announced on Monday that the number of unaccompanied children crossing the border illegally is dropping significantly.
The administration claims the average has plummeted from more than 350 per day in June, to about 150 daily the first two weeks of July.
The numbers may be lower but the frustration of trying to obtain information about people crossing the border illegally and ending up in Tucson, has never been higher. U.S. Customs and Border Patrol reported to News 4 Tucson, that just 23 minors remain in Nogales. But despite word that the facility is about to be closed down, CBP issued a vague statement saying, "The Nogales Processing Center remains an operational resource for Tucson Sector and can be used to assist in processing individuals apprehended in other sectors as operational demands require."
In Tucson, city councilman Steve Kozachik says the city has been told 160 unaccompanied children remain housed at the College Place near downtown and he said that's about all they know.
"It's a federal issue I get that but it has a very direct local impact", Kozachik said, "I think they are making a huge mistake with all this secrecy."
Just down the street, at the Greyhound bus terminal, Kozachik says 15 to 20 immigrant arrivals, mostly comprised of mothers and their children, are still being dropped off every day, left to fend for themselves.
"Two or three times a day ICE will give us 20 minutes as to when they are going to drop off a group of families", said Kozachik, once they show up here it's up to us and the volunteers to figure out do they have transportation plans, do they have tickets, do they have bedding for the night, do they food, clothing, shelter, all of that, the federal government is just AWOL on this thing."
President Obama is scheduled to meet with the presidents of Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras to discuss how to stem the flow of the immigrants this Friday.

ABC News' Teddy Davis and Brittany Crockett report:
Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., the chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (D.S.C.C.), said Tuesday that he is "confident" that Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., will be returned to office next year despite facing low approval-ratings from voters.
"Harry Reid has probably been one of the greatest senators of Nevada, if not the greatest senator, that Nevada has ever had," said Menendez. "Stopping Yucca Mountain, bringing jobs to Nevada—it's not surprising why there have been so many Republicans in Nevada publicly supporting his candidacy."
Menendez acknowledged that it has become popular in recent years to target the opposing party's Senate leader as Democrats did unsuccessfully last year with Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.
He argued, however, that Reid does not face the same peril as former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D., who lost his bid for re-election in 2004 to then-Rep. John Thune, R-S.D.
"At the end of the day, I am convinced that while it has become the new system to go after the Majority Leader, Harry Reid is not Tom Daschle and this is not South Dakota," said Menendez. "And the reality is that I am convinced that Harry Reid will win that race and I would not bet against Harry Reid by any stretch of the imagination."
One of the reasons why Menendez believes Reid is in less trouble than Daschle is that the current Democratic Leader comes from a state with a political make-up that is more favorable to his party.
"It is a state that for the first time now has more Democratic registrations than Republicans, largely because of the influx of the Latino community after the last election. He does very well with that community," said Menendez.
Another reason why Democrats feel confident about Nevada despite the current poll numbers is that Republicans failed to recruit two well-known Republicans into the race: Rep. Dean Heller, R-Nev., and former Rep. Jon Porter, R-Nev.
Currently, a crowded field of Republicans is eyeing the race against Reid.
Republican officials in Washington view Sue Lowden, a former head of the state GOP, and Danny Tarkanian, the son of legendary UNLV basketball coach Jerry Tarkanian, as the top two contenders.
A Republican spokesman scoffed at Menendez's confidence in Reid's re-election chances and pointed to poll numbers which show Reid trailing lesser-known Republicans.
"The DSCC is absolutely right about Harry Reid not being Tom Daschle. When John Thune got in the race, Daschle had a clear lead in the polls. In contrast, poll after poll has shown Harry Reid trailing not just one, but several, candidates who are arguably far less well known than John Thune was in South Dakota four years ago," said Brian Walsh, a spokesman for the National Republican Senatorial Committee. "If the DSCC is so confident that Harry Reid is positioned to win re-election, why have the Democrats been unable to produce a single poll which has him in the lead?"
"Finally," Walsh continued, "we're not normally in the business of giving advice to our political opponents, but it's probably not a helpful talking point to brag about Harry Reid bringing jobs to Nevada at a time when they have a 13.9% unemployment rate."
Menendez made his comments about Reid during a pen-and-pad briefing with reporters on the 2010 Senate outlook. It was held at D.S.C.C. headquarters in Washington, D.C.
The DSCC chairman said that Republicans had a good August. He argued, however, that their success would be short-lived because their strident opposition to President Obama puts them in the position of betting that the country will fail.

Which American states are the most threatened by globalization and free trade? A "Storyline" feature in last Friday's Washington Post attempts to answer the question with a series of infographics and analytic snapshots based on statistics drawn from the U.S. Department of Labor's Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) program since 1994.
Originally drafted by lawmakers in the 1960s, the TAA is a federal compensation program intended to mitigate the harmful effects of global trade liberalization by providing support to those displaced by foreign competition.
The article notes that since the North American Free Trade Agreement took effect two decades ago, more than 2.7 million U.S. workers have qualified for assistance. It further notes that wide disparities exist among states with – not unsurprisingly – those "heavily invested in low-wage manufacturing industries" being the most threatened by foreign trade competition.
Click here to read the complete feature.
Effective immediately, the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) is updating the procedures to utilize the ITAR §126.18 exemption for technical assistance agreements (TAAs) and manufacturing license agreements (MLAs).
In guidance issued July 25, 2011, DDTC required all TAAs and MLAs to be amended prior to use of the ITAR §126.18 exemption for two reasons: updating the new verbatim clause at ITAR §124.8(5) and to add specific language to the ITAR §124.7(4) section of the agreement.
Upon further review of these requirements and through experience gained in administering the regulation, DDTC has decided to change the requirement for TAAs and MLAs.
With the posting of this web notice, TAAs and MLAs do not have to be amended to include the modifications cited above in order to utilize the ITAR §126.18 exemption. All agreement holders and foreign parties utilizing the ITAR §126.18 exemption must maintain a copy of this web notice in their records. Continue reading »
(World Trade Interactive)
Both the Senate Finance and the House Ways and Means committees approved July 7 draft legislation to implement free trade agreements with Korea, Colombia and Panama. However, prospects for final congressional approval remain in doubt because there is still no clear agreement on how to also extend the Trade Adjustment Assistance program.
The Senate Finance Committee, which is controlled by Democrats, approved with no Republican support a draft Korea FTA bill that includes an extension of TAA through 2013. There was more bipartisan support for a draft Colombia FTA bill that also retroactively reauthorizes the Generalized System of Preferences and the Andean Trade Preferences Act through July 2013 as well as a Panama FTA bill with no additional provisions. In the House Ways and Means Committee, which is controlled by Republicans, no Democrats voted in favor of any of the three FTA bills to protest that none of them included a TAA extension. As in the Senate, extensions of GSP and ATPA were included in the Colombia bill. Read more here.

The Devon region
North Devon is one of the most beautiful areas of the British Isles. It boasts miles of unspoilt and award winning beaches. The coastline is one of the most popular surfing venues in the country, with Croyde being the most popular.
The coastline is as rugged as it is beautiful dotted with magnificent cliffs, tiny cove and picturesque harbours. It was once the haunt of smugglers, pirates and wreckers and the fascinating history is retold in many small museums along the coast. Today visitors who love Henry Williamson's famous Tarka the Otter can retrace Tarka's journey by following the Tarka Trail.
Along the coastline surrounding a natural harbour is Ilfracombe with its Victorian architecture, Esplanade and famous Tunnels Beach. The harbour is always busy with fishing boats sailing in and out together with the paddle steamer Balmoral which offers day trips to Lundy Island. North Devon has something to offer and appeal to everyone.
There are activities available for all ages. For children there are fun attractions such as 'The Big Sheep' and 'Dinosaur World'. For the sports fan, there is golf, horse riding, cycling, surfing, kayaking, rock climbing and many other activities all within a 40 minute drive from Barnstaple, the region's major town.
Looking for a North Devon Holiday Cottage or Self Catering Holidays in Devon then you are at the right place!
WALK TO – Croyde is a magical place nestling around a stream running down to the sea. This award-winning sandy beach is fine and flat, ideal for children and good for surfing. Rock pools are in abundance and dunes a haven for young and intrepid explorers. Local fun parks for the children such as Cascades Pool Park are a great way to spend the day. Croyde Bay is renowned as a premier surfing beach destination in England for short and long boards. For the more adventurous, kite surfing, volley ball, kayaking and horse riding is on your doorstep. Within walking distance of Croyde beach enjoy its ice cream shop, gourmet restaurants, superb village pubs, surf shops, and art gallery. This classic 'chocolate-box' village is steeped in old-world charm and echoes the feeling of life in Britain in times gone by. Coastal and Countryside walks include the majestic Croyde cliff path to Baggy Point, (and for those energetic), to Woolacombe and beyond.

tobias sash print top
by A DETACHER
A Détacher owner Mona Kowalska likens herself to more of a curator than a designer. Having spent the early part of her career designing for various small labels in Italy, it is of no surprise that A Détacher exudes an air of European luxury and sophistication. After stints in Italy and having briefly run the Paris design studio of Sonia Rykiel, designer Mona Kowalska was bound for New York and the process of designing clothes under her own name commenced. Kowalska has run a successful label since 1998 with little press or media attention. Possessing a refreshing attitude towards her line and the industry as a whole, she is unapologetic in her loyalty to her aesthetic while amassing a quiet cult clientele.

University of Kentucky Internal Audit
To support UK in its pursuit of excellence by providing advisory and assurance guidance to champion reasonable assurance regarding the achievement of management objectives.
December Tip of the Month
The "Tip of the Month" is designed to share UK Internal Audit's (UKIA) audit and advisory experiences with the UK community. The UKIA Tip of the Month for December 2014 is Business Continuity Planning (BCP).
An effective BCP consists of an extensive activity list to include identifying key functions, managing critical applications, establishing alternate worksites and maintaining communications. A unit/department should identify events, both internal and external that may adversely impact the business and consider appropriate counter-measures. Unfortunately all businesses (units/departments) are vulnerable to and could suffer from some type of adverse event. Whether it's a fire, sabotage or other unforeseen situation, an appropriate response plan is worth its weight in gold.
The initial step in developing a BCP is an activity assessment which assists with understanding fundamental business needs. An effective BCP will assist in allowing the business to continue operations, if planned correctly. UKIA has a documented BCP; admittedly, we have not recently updated our plan. This month's tip will prompt UKIA to make a New Year's Resolution to update our plan. Important elements (tips) to be aware of and consequently plan for, when creating your BCP can be listed as "U-SKIP" (don't U-SKIP your BCP). UKIA has five tips to assist units/departments with managing the activities associated with BCPs.

Over a thousand women wearing pink took the streets Sunday for a race called, 'She.is.beautiful Santa Cruz's Pinkest' 5k and 10k race.
The race is designed to empower women and provide inspirational energy. Motivational igns are posted throughout the path.
15% of the proceeds will benefit the Walnut Avenue Women's Center. Last year's donation to W.A.W.C. allowed for the creation of a new Domestic Violence counseling room.
The run started on West Cliff Dr. near Bay St. and is the second annual race in Santa Cruz.

Partners becomes singer's 52nd gold record - more than any other female artist in history
At the age of 72, Barbra Streisand is proving to be as big a draw as she ever was.
The Recording Industry Association of America announced on Friday (7 November) that Streisand's latest album, Partners, has been certified gold meaning it has sold more than 500,000 copies.
This marks the 52nd gold record for Streisand whose first album was released 50 years ago last month.
No other female artist has achieved as many gold records as Streisand.
Barbra Streisand makes music industry history with sales of latest album
Barbra Streisand is number one again.
The legendary singer's latest album, Partners, has debuted at the top of the Billboard sales chart. This makes Streisand the first artist in history to have a number one album in six consecutive decades.
Streisand's first number one album, People, came out 50 years ago next month. Her other chart toppers include The Way We Were, A Star is Born, The Broadway Album, and Love is the Answer, among others.
Singer is promoting her latest album, Partners, to be released next week
The last time Barbra Streisand appeared on NBC's The Tonight Show, John F. Kennedy was president of the US, The Beatles hadn't yet come to America and albums were only being released on vinyl.
Now, more than 50 years later, Streisand will return to the show which has been hosted by Jimmy Fallon since February.
The 72-year-old music legend and gay icon has an ulterior motive: she is promoting the release of her latest album, Partners, which comes out a day after her appearance on 15 September.
The two men arrested have been in a relationship for over 10 years, the mother of one of the men told a local newspaper
In what's a rare case in a country which has a reputation for a low crime rate, the police have arrested two Singaporean men, believed to be responsible for kidnapping a 79-year-old woman for a ransom of S$20 million.
Heng Cheng Boon, a 50-year-old credit card salesman, and 41-year-old odd-job worker Lee Sze Yong were arrested and charged on Friday for allegedly kidnapping Ng Lye Poh on Wednesday, according to local media reports.
Ugly Betty alum talks to Gay Star News about his new comedy Partners
Michael Urie has not been a regular presence on television since Ugly Betty left the air two years ago.
But the talented actor has been keeping busy in the theater and film.
He starred off Broadway in The Tempermentals and made his Broadway debut this year in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.
The openly gay star also co-starred in the indie film Petunia and executive produced and appeared in the documentary Thank You for Judging, both of which screened last month at LA's Outfest Film Festival.
Steve Levitan: 'The minute it becomes our agenda, it loses some of what makes it perhaps special'
It was in the first episode of Modern Family in 2009 that gay couple Cam and Mitch introduced their adopted baby, Lily, to the world.
Since then, the couple - played by Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Eric Stonestreet - has been an integral part of the comedy's Emmy-winning formula.
Other US networks have taken notice.
This fall, Justin Bartha and Andrew Rannells star as a gay couple having a baby with the help of a surrogate mother in the NBC comedy The New Normal. And over at CBS, Michael Urie and Brandon Routh play a couple in the sitcom Partners.

This summer I have seen beautiful carpets of clubmoss.
Clubmosses are in the family Lycopodiaceae. They are among my favorite plants because they are so simple and so pretty. They grow on long runners that spread out and form unique, trailing patterns or four-inch thick tapestries on the forest floor.
Like ferns and true mosses, clubmosses prefer moist, rich soil beneath a mixture of deciduous and coniferous trees that provide leaf litter for nutrients but shade to hold moisture. Clubmosses are evergreen and show brightly from first snowmelt in spring until first snowfall in winter.
The high moisture in the forest this year has produced excellent conditions for several species that grow together in extensive patches.
As a child I was taught the name Princess Pine for what many people know of as Ground Cedar. It looks like a forest of miniature cedar trees, with flat scale-like leaves pressed tightly against each other like the scales of an Arborvitae. Ground Cedar is a bright, glossy spring green in color.
Tree Clubmoss looks like miniature trees but stands more upright than Ground Cedar and is a darker green.
Running Clubmoss is also known as Wolf's Claws and looks like a furry vine. Usually rhizomes grow beneath loose leaf litter but long runners can also grow on the surface of the ground, reaching many feet in length.
This week the most stunning of all was the Shining Clubmoss. I walked through a section of forest that had wide swaths on both sides of the trail and it literally shone beneath the mixed beech and spruce/balsam canopy. The colony was so thick and healthy my boots were covered up to my ankles in lush, soft green.
Clubmoss is special for many reasons — it is a vascular plant that is among the ancient plants of the earth.
Marion Lobstein, writing for the Prince William Wildflower Society, commented that, "Some 300-plus million years ago, tree forms of both clubmosses and horsetails along with ferns dominated the great coal swamps of the Carboniferous geological period. Tree forms of tree clubmosses that once reached heights of 100 feet have left an excellent fossil record."
Imagine a forest of 100-foot-tall clubmosses, ferns and horsetails.
Most clubmosses reproduce by spores that grow on tall candle-like structures at the ends of the short branches. When they are dry the spores are highly flammable; if they are blown into a flame they create a bright, rapid-burning flash without generating heat. The spores of clubmoss were made into powder that was used in Victorian theater and magic shows to create flashes on stage and also used in early flash photography.
Unfortunately it is illegal to harvest clubmosses because they were extensively harvested for the dry spores and for decorative roping and wreaths. Most species are protected in New York and considered "exploitably vulnerable native plants," which are likely to become threatened if harvest is not controlled.
These are definitely plants to treasure.

An eighth grader plans to carry his 7-year-old brother with cerebral palsy piggyback on a unique 40-mile journey, all in an effort to raise awareness.
Hunter Gandee, 14, tells The Blade in Toledo, Ohio he will walk from Temperance, Mich. to the University of Michigan campus in Ann Arbor carrying his younger brother, Braden, who uses a walker and braces.
Traveling on local roads, Hunter Gandee estimates the trip will take 13 hours. The boys plan to set out on June 7 and will make a one-night stop along the way before arriving on June 8. A group of volunteers and the boys' parents will travel by car ahead of them.
Hunter Gandee said his brother is his "inspiration." The 150-pound teen who wrestles and plays football plans to carry 50-pound Braden on his back.
"I'm excited about the walk," Braden Gandee told the newspaper, adding that he will talk to his brother and sing songs to occupy the time.

Truly Amazing! Best of luck Hunter and I know you can and will finish your 40K. Your brother Braden is an inspiration because he looks up to you, HIS inspiration, YOU. God bless you and your family.
Hunter, you are an insparation to ME! What love and commitment you are showing. Makes me feel much more positive about the future of our country.
Wish there had been a spell-check. I mean inspiration!
Hunter you are a brave, courageous, and sweet brother. I am proud of you. Thank you! I pray that God will give you His strength to complete your goal.
Hunter – this will be an amazing trip for You and your Brother. A connection that no others can really understand. I am wondering if this is a fund raiser and how one might be able to contribute.
